    I have decided to try to take the big step and upgrade to 4
    megabytes of RAM.  I now have 2 megs in my Mac II, as 8 256K
    simms.  I would like to sell these in two groups of 4.  These are
    fast simms that will work on a normal Mac II, and are from Apple.
    I would like $329 for each pair of 4 simms.

Let's see here: you buy four 1Mb SIMMs at $199 each and sell 8 256K
SIMMS for $658, a total expense of $138 to upgrade your Mac II from 2
Mb to 4 Mb.  Who exactly are you expecting to buy these 256K SIMMs at
such grossly inflated prices?
